A lady is suing me for a scratch on her bumper. And the estimate she submitted included a storage fee for 3 days, while the bumper is being replaced. I'm not an idiot the lady is just trying to get money. I just wanted to know if this common at all.

do yourself a favor and turn it in to your insurance that is what it's for. I've never heard of a storage fee at a body shop but you never know nowadays
